#Ik the term ‘playersexual’ is out of vogue but listen. as a bisexual.

I do miss having gay and straight characters in dragon age though. Even race-locked characters. It was such a juicy bit of characterization
#like maybe I never will agree with WHO exactly was straight. I am biased and have my own agendas.#but it was good!!!! gay character who grapples specifically with homophobia!!#character who can only be romanced by one race because it is revealed they are the only race of people he sees as people!!!!#I know it bummed people out to not be able to romance (unmodded) the character they liked but it was such good world building like#these characters felt like a real group of random people#Ik the term ‘playersexual’ is out of vogue but listen. as a bisexual.#these decisions to cramp the style and depth of the world. to limit the diversity of the world.#all for the players’ romantic/sexual gratification seems sad to me. like I feel we’re going for spectacle and fandom#instead of meaty characters and nuanced writing#in the same way a lack of diversity in other areas makes the world feel flatter#if the party was all men#or all white. or all elves. or all twenty somethings. it would be the same yeah? same lack of diversity same flatness#thedas is huge and we only glimpse it through these handfuls of characters. I’d want to cast as wide a net of experiences as possible#just to see what’s out there yk
